Researchers are working on new ways to make lithium-ion batteries safer, including improved internal designs, enhanced anode and cathode chemistries, and less flammable electrolyte compositions.
The lithium-ion batteries in modern electric vehicles and electronic gadgets typically use a liquid or gel electrolyte that is highly flammable. An important aim of battery research is to replace such electrolytes with solid materials, which would be safer and could reduce the battery’s weight.
Lithium-ion batteries offer a contemporary solution to curb greenhouse gas emissions and combat the climate crisis driven by gasoline usage. Consequently, rigorous research is currently underway to improve the performance and sustainability of current lithium-ion batteries or to develop newer battery chemistry.
An innovative organic material could make lithium-ion batteries lighter, safer and easy to recycle 1. Batteries generate electricity by moving ions between two layers, called a cathode and an anode. A third layer in between, called the electrolyte, is designed to allow ions to pass easily between the anode and the cathode.
Moreover, the battery demonstrated notable cycling performance, running 400 cycles at an E/C ratio of 1.92 g Ah −1 with a capacity retention rate of 70%. Cryo-TEM revealed that the restructured SEI minimizes direct contact between lithium and the liquid electrolyte.
In recent years, the new energy storage system, such as lithium ion batteries (LIBs), has attracted much attention. In order to meet the demand of industrial progress for longer cycle life, higher energy density and cost efficiency, a quantity of research has been conducted on the commercial application of LIBs.
